Ayew brothers react to Black Stars retirement rumors

Amidst swirling rumors suggesting otherwise, Andre and Jordan Ayew have vehemently denied reports claiming they’ve resigned from the Ghana national team.

Andre’s unexpected exclusion from Otto Addo’s Black Stars squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic (CAR) has fueled speculation, yet Jordan’s inclusion in the squad adds another layer to the narrative.

Despite divided opinions among the public and hints of a possible retirement from international duty, a statement from Fiifi Tackie, the spokesperson of the Ayew family, has clarified their stance.

“Please be advised that recent reports of the Ayew brothers, Andre and Jordan, resigning from the national team are entirely false. Andre has had a remarkable season, scoring 6 goals in all competitions, and is currently enjoying a well-deserved holiday,” Tackie wrote on Facebook.

“Jordan is currently in the camp of the national team and he is proud and honoured to be part of the team for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic.

“They remain dedicated to their careers and committed to the national team. We urge fans and supporters to disregard the misinformation and continue to support the Ayew brothers and the Black Stars.”

As Ghana aims to bolster its World Cup qualification hopes, the Ayew brothers’ resolve to continue representing their nation remains steadfast, urging fans to disregard misinformation and rally behind the Black Stars.
